workshopGoogle Cloud: Kubernetes Core Concepts (Beginner)

In this workshop we’ll introduce the core concepts of Kubernetes. We’ll explain many of the common components you’ll come across and how they interact with each other. We’ll then go on to deploy a microservices demo application onto a Google Container Engine (GKE) cluster, before discussing what can be done to begin ‘productionising’ the deployment. Presented by Google Cloud in partnership with Jetstack.

workshopGoogle Cloud: Kubernetes Under the Hood (Advanced)

In this session, we’re going to be demonstrating some of the more advanced features of Kubernetes. We will start to give you an understanding of how to deploy more complex services such as databases onto a cluster. We’ll also do a detailed deep dive of the Kubernetes control plane, discussing the various components and how they interoperate to provide the core Kubernetes functionality. Presented by Google Cloud in partnership with Jetstack.
